Last week as well as saying good bye to the children for a while we also said good bye to our chicks who are all living happily together in the Village. Given all the things that are going on it might be nice to share this good news story and these pictures with your children.

Year Two Great Fire of London Day from History Off The Page

Tue 10 Mar 2020

Year Two have learnt more about the Great Fire of London thanks to a visit from History Off The Page (funded by the wonderful PTA!). Over the course of the day, they learnt about the shops that there would have been at the time and the sorts of jobs that people would have had. They looked at a map of London and discussed how the fire started. In the afternoon, they had the opportunity to be archaeologists and to 'dig' for artefacts in order to work out what shop they may have come from.

The day has really enhanced their learning on the topic. Visit the gallery for even more photos of the day!

As you will know, last week for Book Week, the whole school used the book 'Bee and Me' by Alison Jay as a stimulus for learning.

Miss Moule emailed Alison Jay to share examples of the children's learning and was delighted to receive an email back!

Dear Miss Moule,

Thank you so much for sharing the link to your schools world book day photos, I was so excited to see them, it looks like a fantastic day . I love the children dressed as wild meadow flowers and creatures ,the millipede is wonderful and all those bees and flowers. I think it is absolutely brilliant that each child has taken some seeds home to make a bee friendly space of their own, I couldn’t be happier to hear that ,it is so much more than I had ever hoped for when I wrote and illustrated Bee and Me.

Thanks again for up dating me a huge round of applause and cheer from me to all those who took part. 👏🏻👏🏻 and I am sure a giant thank youzzzzzZZZ from all those happy bees this summer 🐝🐝

All the very best

Alison xx

World Book Day

Thu 05 Mar 2020

Today, the Infant School came as things you would find in a wildflower meadow to link to the book 'Bee and Me' by Alison Jay that we have been reading this week at school. We were swarmed with bees and other insects and overwhelmed with flowers! Thank you all for all the effort families have gone to with costumes! The children have produced some amazing work in all year groups and there are some examples in the photos below.

All children will have bought home a small envelope of wild flower seeds to create their own mini-wild flower meadows to attract beautiful bees!

If you would like to look at the book with your child, please follow the link below:
